Nanjing Museum is seeking an out-of-town visitor who was shown in a photo carrying his IV bottle while touring the various displays, Jiangsu-based Modern Express reported.

The photo, captured by a museum guide, went viral online. It showed a man accompanied by two women from the back walking into the museum.

His IV bottle is seen fixed on a stick on his left shoulder.

The museum posted the photo on its Weibo microblog and dubbed him the “most beautiful visitor,” the report said.

“We would like to welcome him for a return visit after he recovers,” museum official Liu Wentao was quoted as saying. “ We would like to give him a guided tour so he can learn more about our exhibits.”

Liu said the man would also be given a surprise gift.

“I saw him collect many pamphlets at the service center,” a museum employee told the newspaper. “He told me he had traveled a long way for the exhibition. He also declined to use a wheelchair.”

Many members of the online community were impressed with the man’s determination.

“Even poor health could not stop him from looking at the artworks and relics,” one person posted in response to the museum’s microblog.

Nanjing Museum’s enormous collection of porcelain from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties is among the largest in the world.
